“Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air. On the contrary, when we imagine something, we do it necessarily conditioned by a lack in our concrete reality. When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness.” ChildrenImportantRealRealitySchoolImaginationClearImagineAirSocietyExerciseDenyContraryConcreteDetachedFreedom And Happiness Author:Paulo Freire

“All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain; but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.” MenMindWellsHoursWalksBrainWiseImagineTroubleAdviceOughtWalkingExerciseConstitutionLegsActiveSentencesMistakenOne HourVery WisePhysically ActiveWise Advice Author:George Sand
“It is unwise to equate scientific activity with what we call reason, poetic activity with what we call imagination. Without the imaginative leap from facts to generalisation, no theoretic discovery in science is made. The poet, on the other hand, must not imagine but reason--that is to say, he must exercise a great deal of consciously directed thought in the selection and rejection of his data: there is a technical logic, a poetic reasoning in his choice of the words, rhythms and images by which a poem's coherence is achieved.” MadeReasonFactsHandsSciencePoetryChoicesImaginationDealsImaginePoetExerciseActivityDiscoveryLogicRhythmDataRejectionReasoningPoeticLeapSelectionImaginativeUnwiseCoherenceDiscovery In ScienceGeneralisation Author:Cecil Day-Lewis
